About Us

Harmony Place is a non-government community-based organisation providing mental health and wellbeing services specifically for people and communities from diverse cultural and language backgrounds.

We opened our doors in 1995 as the Multicultural Centre for Mental Health and Wellbeing and became known as Harmony Place. We became an incorporated organisation in 2002.

Our staff are committed professionals with qualifications in social work, psychology and counselling. Many are bilingual and came to Australia as refugees and migrants and have experienced the mental health challenges associated with settlement, identity and acculturation. As they share this experience with the people who use our services, our staff are in a unique position to offer peer support as well as professional counselling.
